Hi Cardinal Family!

My name is Richland Fobbs and I am excited to be your child's school counselor! I have been in public education for 11 years with 6 of those years being a school counselor. I earned my bachelor's degree from Xavier University of Louisiana and my graduate degree from Texas Southern University. My favorite part about being a school counselor is building meaningful relationships and supporting the growth and development of our students.

My goal as your school counselor is to build strong relationships and support the whole child by providing high-quality guidance lessons, short-term group counseling, short-term individual counseling, and personalized support. I am committed to collaborating with families, staff, and community partners to help ensure the success and well-being of our students.

I am a passionate advocate for our children. I am dedicated to helping them grow and teaching them essential life skills they will use every day. Our students are the future, and I am committed to providing the love, education, and support they need to reach their fullest potential.

“When little people are overwhelmed by big emotions, it’s our job to share our calm, not join their chaos.” -L.R. Knost

Student "I can" Statements:

• Carry myself with confidence.

The purpose of 1:1 individual meetings is to provide a more personalized counseling experience to students across the campus. These meetings provide a whole child approach to ensuring that students are identifying their own strengths, goals, and challenges, while also building connections at school, home, and within the community. The individual meeting allows counselors to personalize continued support as needed throughout the school year. 

This quarter your school counselor will be meeting with 3rd and 4th grade students.

This quarter we're inviting students and families to sign our Resolution of Respect! By signing our resolution, you are promising to be a part of our community of kindness.
